minority obstruction

The general population in this country does not seem to be aware of the extent to which the Senate minority is obstructing the political process. People blame the Democrats because they have the majority in Congress and the President, but it is the shenanigans in the Senate that even the President cannot withstand under the present rules. The recent withdrawal of the appropriations bill is a good example of the chaos the Senate causes. Harry Reid could not even get a basic appropriations bill through the Senate in spite of having a clear majority, because of the Republican minority. Congress has failed in its basic job of keeping the government running. The cause is clear: it is not partisanship, or the lack of bipartisanship; it is that we allow minority obstruction in the Senate. The only real solution is to subordinate the Senate to the House.
